All Hallows, Seaton, is a beautiful church set within a well-kept churchyard. Notable features of the church include a Norman chancel arch and a good Victorian alabaster reredos. Until recently there was a ring of five bells: in the autumn of 2014 a 6th bell was added to mark the centenary of the beginning of the First World War. The bell was cast by Taylors of Loughborough and dedicated on All Saints' Day, 2014. At the same time the parish clock was regilded. The clock was installed after the end of WWI and forms the parish war memorial, funded by public subscription.
The church is usually open during daylight hours.
